“Hundreds of students walked out of classrooms around suburban Denver on Tuesday in protest over a conservative-led school board proposal to focus history education on topics that promote citizenship, patriotism and respect for authority, in a show of civil disobedience that the new standards would aim to downplay.
“The youth protest in the state’s second-largest school district follows a sick-out from teachers that shut down two high schools in the politically and economically diverse area that has become a key political battleground.
“Student participants said their demonstration was organized by word of mouth and social media. Many waved American flags and carried signs, including messages that read ‘There is nothing more patriotic than protest.’“ *

To be fair, though, probably part of the reason they are doing this is because of all the school shootings in that state..training kids to be meek and obedient, etc so they don’t want to shoot up the schools…
Your comment is really stupid. What does being a drone have to do with stoping school shootings. I haven’t hear that Colorado has anymore school shootings than any other state.
